00:08you balance your your life as a mother and and a career woman and the truth is nobody showed us
00:15how to do it because we were told we could have it all and now we're just realizing it's impossible
00:19because there's only one of us and we're expected to spread ourselves so thinly and divide ourselves
00:24up into 20 30 pieces that's impossible it's an impossible load and I think it's just important
00:30to acknowledge that actually we got it wrong we can't have it all because the only thing that gives

00:43to I suppose grassroots of community and looking for what that village looks like and asking for
